Queen Camilla wowed royal fans as she stepped out in a breath-taking designer ball gown. The 77-year-old looked elegant as she stepped out at the State Banquet which was held at Buckingham Palace for the Qatar Royal Family on Tuesday (December 3).
Velvet has been a prominent fabric this winter and has been featured in many fall fashion shows. Many high-end brands have celebrated its timeless charm and elegance.
The likes of Chloé, Dries Van Noten, JW Anderson, and Gucci have all incorporated velvet into their collections. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla wore a bespoke dress by Fiona Clare along with dazzling jewels that were once owned by Queen Elizabeth II.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one user shared about Her Majesty’s ensemble: “Wow she looks so stunning nothing a tiara and a beautiful necklace can’t fix.” Referring to her recent health struggle with pneumonia, which forced her to sit out of an open-air engagement.
A second penned: “I love her dress she looks wonderful [King] Charles is lucky to have her by his side.” Another added: “Wow Queen Camilla. She looks so pretty I love the dress on her.”
